Do you know how mortifying it would be if 1:12th figures or transformers toy or anything like that popped off the way labubu did? Just a frenzy of teens reselling shit for $1000 over the span of seven or eight months & then afterwards they shit on you for “clinging to a dead fad” as the companies completely ignore our collector expectation while appealing to the the fad followers who moved on. It’s bound to happy with how big “figtok” is getting
>>11654673I think it looks cool anon. Toys are enjoyable to look at and you don't need any more of a reason than that. I come to /toy/ to enjoy looking at other peoples toys too.
>>11654683Thanks, Anon <3
>>11654673They seem sick for individual storage
>>11654673I know it would make the case impractically larger/wider, but I wish these cases could show off cooler poses. Most of my favorite HG's have crazy back packs, wings, or funnels I like displaying spread out.Out of curiosity where did you buy the case ? Even without putting it on a backpack they seem handy for storage.
>>11654884picked it up on Amazon I believe. i used hard foam like the ind you use for floor mats for the padding on the inside and i didnt really account for mechs with large back pieces or wings, as most of my favorite ones are more utilitarian and based on the RG-78-2 suit. you could probably have some space for other suits like that if you didnt set up the case like mine.

>>11654789It is from Playmobil Naruto
>>11654644Part of me regrets skipping out on this set, but at the same time seeing it in hand...I feel I made the right decision. Not saying it's bad, but I doubt I really would've enjoyed it for how expensive it was. >>11654789There's also a Figuarts one that's a bit bigger and comes with some actual ramen bowls. >>11654792I do love me some Playmobil, but I hate how it's just a bit too small to really work with 1:18 stuff, especially the more modern, slightly larger figures.
>>11654901I feel you 100% in regards to the Playmobil scale, but as amateur on a budget you just gotta make do, maybe squint your eyes a little, and just not take it all too seriously.Playmobil has some great pieces of environment you otherwise had to make yourself from scratch, so you always have to 67 and see whats important to you.I always mixed and matched the different serieses when I played with my figures as a kid, so maybe I dont mind that much because the improv bears maybe some kind of nostalgic feeling to me.
>>11654724I dont have any smurfs to go with the blue and I dont have the green armores smilodon so I cant color match that way either, but I can tell you that the it's a little awkward to get the marine to sit on the cat properly.>>11654789I'm very happy with it, though I think I'll hold off on getting any more cats until the proper 1/18 smilodons roll out. It's cool having a supersized one that can be ridden by 1/18 figures, but I want a pride of properly scalled cats to stalk my Mammoth and calf.
>>11654980Funny enough, my "dislike" of mixing Playmobil with 1:18 stuff comes from when I was a kid and how frustratingly close some Playmobil stuff I had was to working with Joes, but never fit quite right. But recently I fell into a very niche line of Gashapon figures that works *perfectly* with Playmobil and have recently picked up some of their stuff to help set up displays. Currently I have an evil warship and just recently grabbed a castle and I'm currently eyeing a mid sized pirate ship for some similarly sized figures. Playmobil makes some *really* nice sets, and if it wasn't for their admittedly charming, but incredibly limited figures, I probably would've been a hard collector of their line. Also, that ramen shop is probably one of the better sets I seen that mix perfectly with modern 1:18 stuff and it makes for a fantastic backdrop.
Why doesn't Hasbro remake this? This was so goatedPower of the Force is peak toy line, best star wars line ever made. Like, Mcfarlane remade Super Power collection so why not?
>>11650772neat
>>11650772I remember seeing this in stores and my 7 year old self didn't give a shit since it wasn't from the movies...then I played SotE and wanted it so bad but couldn't find it.
>>11650772It really was, I got a N64 for christmas in 1996, then in January my parents take me to see Star Wars A New Hope, It was the greatest thing I had ever seen, I went to the store and they had tons of figures of characters that i had no idea who they were and I could only imagine. It didn't take long since the next month The empire strikes back came out in theaters and I was blown away, I got some toys and love the first two movies and then bam out of nowhere just a month later Return of the Jedi comes out, I watch it and fucking loved it. Got more figures as well to go along with the movie, including some Shadows of the Empire toys, at this point I knew who all the characters were but didn't know who the SOTE guys were, and then I realize one day that there's a N64 game called that so I get it for my birthday along with the VHS trilogy of star wars (which were actually the non-special edition versions, as a kid I just thought they removed stuff from the VHS releases which is why there was no jabba in ANH for example). So much star wars in such little time. I was hyped as fuck for The Phantom Menace, hell the whole world was, but the toys, the video games, they didn't hit the same despite me still being a kid.
>>11650321The appeasement of the boomers is almost at an end, the thickness is back!
>>11650315Because you can buy most of these sealed for $5, hasbro selling nu versions of them for $30 would be what finally bankrupts them
Been here since 2013 and about once a year I like to see where everyone's displays are at, if they've changed, what's new or if they even still collect. I've sold off a lot over the years, my SAS and Storm Collectibles displays are long gone, same with my SHF Dragonball stuff. Whole toy lines I thought I needed, turns out you don't really need any of this stuff. Even if it's just a purchase or two a year, I don't think I could ever leave the hobby. My space is not my space without my little vanity of cool bullshit.
Thinking about changing my display setup for my 1/6 figures, was looking at BROTTAR but I don't know if that's worth the money.
>>11654944Stan Lee with his trademark unnecessary cameo.
>>11654955He's a funny conversation piece.
>>11653847Yeah. I added Skull Knight a couple weeks back, but not entirely happy with the composition at the moment. Trying to decide whether to remove the figmas entirely are just repose everything a little less dynamic.
>>11654944This would look so much better if you cleared out those boxes on top
What sequel set do you actually find to be good? Previous: >>11646434
>>11655130don't forget that kylo's ship wasn't even correctdisney was being stingy about 'leaks' and gave lego outdated/ incorrect info when they were licensing the sets the set's wings are straight up and down, while in the film they angle outwards
>>11655134to be fair, toy makers need about a year's head start and designs might not be finalized when the toy company gets the drawings.A movie isn't finalized until a couple of months before release, so CGI will be finished around the time merch is starting to be put onto the ships.
>>11655130The crazy thing to me is how Doug Chiang and his team did the designs for the sequels as well as rogue one, Mando etc. The latter have plenty of sovl designs but everything in the sequels is ugly and forgettable. What happened?
>>11655176Director asks designers to make designs.Designers make 50 different variations.Director picks what he thinks looks best.PS, the director has a thing for squinty eyes and no nose nostrilsPPS designers were told the spaceships have be slightly updated OT designs.So it's like hiring the best chefs in the world and telling them they're catering a party for a bunch of autists who only like oscar mayer hot dogs and mac and cheese
>>11655176abrams went out of his way to get ot looking designs because he wanted the movie to just be a nostalgia fest for anhhe's the primary reason for why the sequels turned out the way they did, before he got hired as director of tfa things were leaning more into what lucas envisioned for the sequelsjj threw almost all of that out, and then lied about it later
anyone here have a stationary steam engine? are they actually as cool as they look?I've been thinking about the Wilesco D141 (pic related) because it's a self-contained kit that "does stuff" but I'm also eyeing the D18 as it looks like a more traditional design
I love him… I love him so much.
>>11652502Actually it's Darwin not Vulcan.Darwin basically is an albino Puerto Rican who can adapt to any attack made against him, making him neigh impossible to kill. He was part of a "lost" team of X-Men alongside Vulcan sent to rescue the original X-Men from Krakoa prior to the forming of the All New All Different X-Men, who only existed because Krakoa massacred Darwin's team. Darwin survived by merging with Vulcan and got extracted from him when Vulcan came back for revenge. He later then joined Xfactor for a bit before being forgotten.His biggest claim to fame was being on X-Men First Class where he was made a normal looking black man played by the guy who went on to play Mr Terrific in James Gunns Superman. The character is quickly killed off in First Class and the actor who played him is still salty as fuck that he didn't get the Jennifer Lawrence treatment simply because he was black.
>>11653289Darwin dying from something he should have adapted to still makes me salty too, damn.
>>11653386>X-Men movie characters generally aren't as insanely OP as the comic characters>nobody really cares most of the time>introduce irrelevant Z-list character nobody ever cared about, with power of being hard to kill>Villain kills him anyway, to showcase how threatening he isI feel like nobody except the "everything in an adaptation must be 100% EXACTLY like the comics" turbo autists would even care if the actor wasn't black and tried to act like his character dying and staying dead was an act of discrimination against him.
>>11653289>he didn't get the Jennifer Lawrence treatment simply because he was blackDefinitely couldn’t have been because he wasn’t Jennifer Lawrence it was 1000% because he’s a nigger.
What exactly is their strategy here? Are they purposely trying to tank themselves? Will they even exist in 5 years?

>>11654941Really? If that happened today with how people laude 6" as the Holy Scale, they'd receive nothing but hatred and scorn
>>11655056The scale is good for figures but shit for vehicles.
>>11654941>>Hasbro says if fans really want lower priced toylines, they need to back unpopular Tron franchise's HaslabAnyone else getting kind of tired of various companies doing this shit? Trying to tell people that they had better support this fucking awful thing no one wants or there will be no better thing they do kinda want in the future. Or just make threats of producing more of the same awful shit they are perfectly aware no one wants.>You better support Toy Story 8 or else we might not make any more original movies..>Also you better support Gay Beanmouth Kid Adventures or else we will get right to work on Toy Story 9, 10, and 11 all at the same time!>You better support Harley/Ivy no costume, no crime shopping Adventures ongoing or else we just not night be able to make any Flash, Green Lantern, or Aquaman books this year. >You better support Thinly Veiled Pedo Fantasy #16 or else we might not have the budget to complete Stranger Things or Squid Game...
>>11655056Marvel LEgends was in the holy scale in the 00s too, you know.buuuut.... Hasbro kinda fucked it up. Tons of people were mad that Toy Biz gave up making Marvel Legends, since everyone loved them. When Hasbro took over, they completely fucked up the ML line by taking away paint apps, worse plastics, and raising prices. So people got SUPER PISSED and the line basically bombed on shelves, but that was aided by the 2008 economic collapse. So Hasbro started making Marvel figures in 1:18 at a lower price point, which brought in fans who generally collected 1:18 figures and eventually 1:12 fans were won over, especially when articulation was improved.In short, people aren't as anal as you want to believe.I think most people will buy a good toy if the price is fair, no matter the scale. This is why every decade basically has a dominant scale: 80s was 3.75". 90s was 5". 00s was 1:18. 10s was 1:12. 20s has been a mixed bag, since McFarlane made 1:10 popular with the DC line and various other companies shifted over to 1:18 after 1:12 lines didn't take (Fortnite, Halo) or weren't even started (Jurassic Park was always 1:18?).
